Chasing Nirvana:

Chasing Nirvana is a gripping tale of spiritual entrapment and personal awakening. Growing up under the sway of a Brooklyn housewife turned guru, Priya Hutner is drawn into a world shaped by bizarre rituals, spiritual promises, and oppressive beliefs. What begins as a quest for enlightenment unravels into a stifling reality as the boundaries between spiritual devotion and control blur. As she becomes an integral part of the ashram community, sharing the guru's teachings, she becomes further entangled in a web of spiritual control and manipulation. 

Through this deeply personal journey, Priya shares her struggle to break free from the guru and the cult-like grip on her life. Her traumatic escape from the community marks a profound turning point as she regains personal power, rediscovers herself, and achieves true liberation in the process.

A spiritual adventure story and a cautionary tale, Chasing Nirvana is a story of love, heartbreak, and redemption, offering a powerful reflection on the perils of blind faith and the beauty of reclaiming one's life on her own terms. Her story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience, self-discovery, and freedom from the bondage of belief.
